Title: Unearthly

Author: Cynthia Hand

Publisher: Harperteen

Date: January 4, 2011

From Cynthia Hand comes a moving, lyrical tale of forbidden romance and the struggle between defying your destiny and sacrificing your heart. More than a story of a race of half angels figuring out their place in the world, this novel marks the debut of a gifted writer whose characters you'll fall in love with and remember long after you've turned the last page.

Clara Gardner knows that being part angel means that one day she will have to face her purpose, a rite of passage for her kind. Haunted by visions of a raging forest fire and the mysterious (not to mention gorgeous) boy she must rescue to fulfill her task, Clara is determined to succeed. However, her growing feelings for another boy could derail everything. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara follow the rules or follow her heart?

Readers will be entranced by Clara, the unique angel world she's discovering, and the two boys who’ve captured her attention, and will breathlessly await the next book in the series.
